National Prevention Week
National Prevention Week is a public education platform showcasing the work of communities and organizations across the country that are preventing substance use and promoting positive mental health.
This year, National Prevention Week is taking place from May 11-17, 2025! Learn more about how you can get involved throughout the week and register for the events taking place. You can help promote prevention at any point throughout the year by sharing your #MyPreventionStory on social media, downloading our planning toolkit, promoting National Prevention Week, and telling us about your own prevention event.
